A blossom fell    (video)

 

    C - D7

 

                       G                   Am

1. A blossom fell from off a tree,

                     D                                             G

    it settled softly on the lips you turned to me.

                           G7                     Am

    The gypsies say, and I know why,

                     D                 G                       D

    a falling blossom only touches lips that lie.

 

                       G                    Am

2. A blossom fell, and very soon

                      D                                                       G

    I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon.

    G7                  C                                   G

    I thought you loved me, you said you loved me,

                             D                         G

    we planned together to dream forever.

                               C        Am       G

    The dream has ended, for true love died

                         D                                         D7          G

    the night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied.
